My sentiments exactly. I KNOW what I want in any product before I buy it and the Roam ain't it. In fact, I figure the $138 at Amazon is probably clearance pricing for the HD and I jumped on another before they are gone. I want to do some serious experimenting.
BTW, I got some fun footage at the IronMan yesterday and almost ready to post it.
Me too. I research the product I want before I buy it, so I know exactly what I'm getting. The Roam and the Kodak Playsport Zx5 are dumbed-down versions of good products, so I'm not interested.
I figured the $145 I paid for my ContourHD from Amazon was a clearance, especially when I saw a similar price on REI's website shortly after I ordered my Contour.
Looking forward to seeing your footage. Here's my first climb with the new Contour on my helmet. I still move my head around too much. I never notice it while I'm riding, so it's gonna be hard to break the habit.
